The half page cartoon in the Amer
can of the 9Th represents Nashville as
a finished city, and fenced. in, and
an admirable caricatnre of brer Col
var, figuring in the role Of a mighty
giant, standing on the l. & N. depot
weeping most bitterly, and shaking
stick at an approaching train Of the
l. & N railroad. Something like the
big end of bottle of bitters is shown
protruding FROM his coat pocket be-
hind and tremendous voice like the
tail of a comet, is seen issuing from
his eloquent lips, derisively exclaim-
ing, In Stentorian tones Nashville
has all of the railroads she needs! "
And his eyes have dazed express
sion, in fine frenzy rolling, and are
indicative of the most intense indig-
nation. Altogether the picture
makes a recherche and delightful COM
bination, and is ''real daisy" The
forrest trees growing in the city give
it most pleasing rural aspect, and
have significant andlmelancholy o.
feet which is really charming, in fact,
perfectly inimitable.

MRS. ENocH ENsHLY DEAD.
After Much Suffering tina Noble Woman
Passes Away.

I
For the past year Col. Enoch Ensley
has been travelling in Europe with his
wife and daughter, in hopes OF restor-
ing Mrs. Ensley's health. She grew
worse, however, and few weeks ago
the party landed in New York and
went to Asheyille, NC, where the lady
died last evening, as dispatch received
by Mr.. Jas. S. Robins from Col. Ensley,
dated Asheyille, September ~, says
wife died this evening will teIe-
graph further to night The remains
will arrive via the Memphis and Char
lesion Railroad Wednesday morning.
-AVDlanche.
The above announcement, though it
has been anticipated for some time,
WILDE received with sincere sorrow by
the many friends and relatives Of The
deceased In and around Ciarksville.
The writer has not had the pleasure OF
seeing Mrs. Ensley since her girlhood,
but he distinctly remembers Laura
Martin as youthful vision of beauty,
loneliness and amiability gliding in and
out amidst the cherished and happy
reminicenses connected with the hal
cyon days OF his boyhood and early
youth, when she was but child and
around her bright image memory lin
gers with fondness, for she was idolized
by her parents, and loved by everybody
who knew her. II the fruition OF her
after years fulfilled the promise OF her
girlhood, and all reports confirm tie
hypothesis that it did, then we cannot
wonder-that two cities mourn with sin
cere sorrow, the loss OF this most excel
lent and admirable woman the city OF
her birth and girlhood, and the city
which was the home Of her maturer
years. 4-
Thus one by one the links are broken
That binds as sadly TO the past,
And thus the word of love now spoken;
Tohving friends may bethe Last.

GEN. BUTLER,s PRESIDENTIAL.
PLATFORM.

Hon. Benz. F. Butler seems to
have hit upon very unique and or
ignal method OF disposing Of the
surplus in the treasury. In fact Gen.
b. may be regarded as an expert In
the matter of disposing of SURPRISES.
His plan is to distribute the money
first among the Union soldiers, and
secondly the Confederate soldiers.
The conduct of the G.. A. r. to-
wards President Cleveland for stand
ing in the way Of such a disposition
would seem to show that the first
part Of Gen. BIS scheme would meet
with no serious opposition from its
benefciaries. But to induce the ex-
rebel soldier to become pauper pen
sioner upon the bounty of the FEEDER
al government would be a matter of
much greater difficulty. AS a rule
they are poor but proud Of their in
dependence. They are, in nine cases
out Of ten, fighting the battle Of life
as bravery as they fought for their
honest convictions amid the roar of
the cannon and the peal of musketry.
We think we speak the true senti-
ments Of nine tenths of these gallant
men when we say that they prefer
earning an honest livelihood by their
own exertions, and would scorn to be
a burden upon anybody, as long as
they are able to work. They do not
want any government bounties and
disdain to feather their nests at the
expense of the public. Away down
in their hearts the sacred cause for
which they fought and bled is en-
balmed in holy memories, and they
do not wish it to be profaned with
ideas and associations of filthy lucre.
Their patriotism was never for sale,
and they fought from high sense OF
honor and duty. They loved the
land, the sunny southern cline, that
gave them birth, and risked their
lives and shed their blood freely,
bravely, proudly and cheerfully in
behalf of their native land. No; the
Southern soldiers patriotism is not,
and never was in the market to be
bought and sold. The very idea of
remuneration would be an insult to
the disinterested magnanimity that
prompted them to go through so
many privations and dangers for the
defence of their homes and firesides.
The gratitude of the South, since
they are debarred forever from re-
turning any more substantial ev-
ideTice of their Indebtedness is due to
them, and will be accorded to them,
through all the coming years and the
beautiful daughters and grand-daugh-
tiers of their native CLINE and their
descendants will never cease, through
all coming time, to sing, on the
banks of the beautiful rivers and
bays of the South, in beanty's bow
ers, the fame and gallant achiey-
ments of those men who fought for
their country because they loved it,
AMI not merely for sordid gain. Least
of all, the Northern people are not the
ones who ought to insult them with
such a plltry offer; and, unlike the
Gran ARM OF the Republic, they
would spurn such an idea under their
feet with contempt and disdain. The
Southern soldiers, as rule, are able
to take care of themselves and they
propose t. do it.

lieve the overcrowding to some extent at least.
Why has it not been usedi

When figures showing what great loss of life
is caused by railroads are published, the pub
Lie ia naturally stirred and probably nine
readers out of ten say to themselves M not to
others that something ought to be done to
prevent such slaughter. That nothing Is done
effectually is proved by the fact that the fatah-
ties continue, and probably increase with in
creasing traffic. Reports made to the State
Controller Of New-Jersey show that in the
past year 2i0 persons were killed and 6S5 in
juyed on the railroads Of that State. Yet there
was no great collision or disaster involving a
large loss of life at one time. These figures
must represent the result Of ordinary careless
ness on the part of the train hands or OF peo'
pie who expose themselves to danger on the
tracks. The time may come when no railway
will be allowed to cross a highway at grade.
That would greatly diminish the chances OF
fatal accidents. AS for walking on railroad
tracks, that is something which should not be
allowed at all.
